> [@madmonk28](#): > > Can you all stop with this moronic “now’s the time to pull together as Americans nonsense? That’s not happening. When you voted for Trump you specifically voted against an America where we all pull together. You voted for racism and divisiveness. This isn’t Mitt Romney, we’re not arguing about the tax rate for the top 1%. You voted for racism. You rang a bell that can’t be un-rung. Reading between the lines of this “we’re all Americans” sentiment, I see that the guilt of what you have done is already sinking in. You want us to make you feel better and give you a pass. The fact is that because of what you’ve done, we’re not all Americans; your version of America is in direct contrast with my version of America. Because of what you’ve done, we’ll never all be in the same America again. > > Donald Trump ran a campaign that asked voters to choose: us or them. I choose them. I choose my brown, black, straight, gay, trans, Muslim, Jewish, Atheist, Baha’i brothers and sisters. I choose them; I choose them even if you and I have known each in real life for years and I’ve never met them. I choose them even if you and I are related. I choose them because by voting for Trump you forced me to choose… I agree with these sentiments, but have little to add — I’m still caught up in Denial and Anger. Ignore the dolts arguing against you,\*\* madmonk28\*\*. Here is the typical Trumpist: > [@The glory of the Donald](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-glory-of-the-donald/771495/1): > > It makes my day to get to come on here and see all of you stupid liberals triggered. Cry. Your tears feed the working class. We were hoping that intelligent Republicans, led by Romney and the Bushes, would save the day. On this very Board we have our very own Republican who we thought had a 100+ IQ and who’d promised to vote rationally. Let’s listen in on his “thoughts”: > [@I live in the US, but I don't vote.

I guess it was hard to pick between the man who raped a 13-year old girl and the witch who murdered the Ambassador in Benghazi in cold blood, hunh **Brickhead**? What a moron! History will view this election as one of the greatest tragedies of the 21st century. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/now-is-not-the-time-to-come-together-as-americans/771476)._
